The potential for an ugly fall-out between BMW and an increasingly disenchanted Robert Kubica was averted when the team raised the white flag on its F1 aspirations, so for 2010 the Pole begins a new chapter of his career with Renault.

How quickly the team can be competitive remains to be seen, but the challenge of leading Renault's recovery should be enough to keep Kubica's motivation level up in the meantime.
